There is no column with name 'id' on table

[hayleybech]

When I try to run php artisan generate:factory Example I get a fatal error:

Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\SchemaException 
There is no column with name 'id' on table 'examples'.

I have run migrate:fresh and I'm reasonably confident the id column exists. This error happens for every model I try it on, meaning the factory generator is unusable for me until I can work out the solution.

Nothing turned up in existing issues or Google, do you have any idea why this could happening? Please let me know if there's any more information you need from me.

Can you share the full stack trace for the error? Also what version of DBAL are you using?

Thanks for responding! Okay, I'm running DBAL 2.13.0. Here is the error trace:

  There is no column with name 'id' on table 'attendances'.
